i could have misheard something on the radio a few weeks ago about animals not needed to make meat in the future? richard branson was mentioned, anyone enlarge on that?
richard branson was mentioned
Morally i think we should be looking harder at the food groups we already consume ,without adding another animal to it. x
how can slaughtering a wild foal be humane? have you ever tried grabbing one and hanging on to it?
As usual I am making a mess of my post, so if it pops up 3 times I humbly apologise (I still believe Email's are magical)
Its called Taffety and you can buy it here

The reasoning behind their idea to sell pony meat is listed here
http://dartmoorhillpony.com/
I asked someone today if they would eat pony, they said they would be willing to try it once as long as it wasn't one of mine (No chance of anyone eating mine)
the ponies are not starving on the moor, in fact we need dozens more of them to graze it along with any other animals. The moor is so badly overgrown many places are now impassable. .
We are turning into China eating anything with a pulse
My feelings are that there are an awful lot more terrible things that can happen to ANY equine than a swift and hopefully humane death, i.e. neglected and left to die out on the open moor, or whatever. This is a situation that has been allowed to develop over a great many years ever since the pure Dartmoors which were valued as riding, show & driving ponies and therefore fetched a good price, were interbred with coloured sub-standard stock, which then produced a poor little runty pony that no-one wants and which has no value, in fact they cost the Dartmoor hill farmers more to keep and produce than the ridiculously low price they get for them at market, and no farmer can continually produce stock that loses them money.
That's a racist statement to make.

Thank heavens they aren't ruminants finding one of mine chewing the cud and belching at me would be horrifying
The comments from all over so far seem to be disgusting, ugh and no way
This one made me giggle
She insists she was only returning to old practices used in days gone by, when the excess ponies would be sold for meat locally
If the meat was so good way back then why did they stop killing and eating them? We are turning into China eating anything with a pulse
I have no views on it if people wish to eat it or not, I personally wouldn't be able to chew it but then my sheep all have names and lamb has been off my menu since keeping sheep,
I would love a couple of house cows but I love roast beef and steak and as soon as the cows arrived, had names and personalities I know cow would be off my menu
I would make a useless farmer, as I was about to bite into a pony burger guaranteed someone would say Neigh and I would throw up lol
like this which make the fact that something is a quotation very obvious.
That's a racist statement to make.
I think it's an excellent demonstration of why quotation marks are important.
